Description: ABRASIVE ARTICLES INCORPORATING ADDITION POLYMERIZABLE RESINS AND REACTIVE DILUENTS, AND METHODS OF MAKING SAID ABRASIVE ARTICLES This invention relates to abrasive articles utilizing a binder which secures abrasive grains to a backing sheet, on fibers of a fibrous mat, or in a shaped mass, and to methods of making such articles utilizing a binder precursor that includes a reactive diluent. Coated abrasives generally comprise a flexible backing upon which a binder holds and supports a coating of abrasive grains. Coated abrasives typically employ a "make" coating comprising a resinous binder material. The make coating secures the abrasive grains to the backing. A "size" coating of resinous binder material applied over the make coating and abrasive grains firmly bonds the abrasive grains to the backing. Additionally, the abrasive grains are generally oriented with their longest dimension perpendicular to the backing to provide an optimum cut rate. In a typical manufacturing process for making coated abrasives using thermally curable condensation binder precursors (for example resole phenolic resins) , the make coating is formed from such a precursor composition, which is first applied to the backing. This is followed by electrostatic projection of abrasive grains into the make coating precursor. The make coating precursor is then partially thermally cured in order to set the abrasive grains. Next, a thermally curable condensation size coating precursor (which may be the same or different than the make coating precursor) is applied over the abrasive grains and make coating. Finally, the coating precursors are fully thermally cured. In recent years radiation energy curable resins have been proposed as binders for coated abrasives as a substitute for conventional thermally curable condensation resins. Radiation energy curable resins can be cured much more rapidly than can thermally curable condensation resins. If additional heat is provided in an attempt to more rapidly cure phenolic resins, the viscosity of the phenolic resin will decrease, thereby resulting in loss of mineral orientation when used in make coatings. The resinous adhesives used for abrasives production are preferably tailored such that they have cured properties desired for use as an abrasive article binder for each application. For example, in the coarse grade applications (larger particle sizes) , the cured resinous adhesive(s) are most preferably hard, heat resistant and tough. Alternatively, in the fine grade applications (smaller particle sizes) , the cured resinous adhesive(s) should be flexible and less hard. One example of a typical resinous adhesive is a radiation curable aminoplast resin. The aminoplast resins have at least one pendant unsaturated group per molecule or oligomer. These unsaturated groups are preferably positioned a , β with respect to the carbonyl moiety, and can be acrylate, methacrylate or acrylamide type groups. U.S. Patent No. 4,588,419 (Caul et al.) describes radiation-curable coated abrasive material constructions in which acrylated epoxy and acrylated urethane resins are diluted with a number of monofunctional and polyfunctional acrylates as reactive diluents, including hexanediol diacrylate and trimethylolpropane triacrylate, as well as N-vinyl-2- pyrrolidone. The disclosed diluents, however, are not aromatic or polycyclic, and the acrylates are not effective solvents for aminoplast resins, and may not produce hard resins as preferred in the present application. U.S. Patent No. 4,927,431 (Buchanan, et al.) describes a resin binder for abrasive articles comprised of a blend of resole phenolic resin with a radiation-curable component containing pendant acrylate groups. The primary attribute of these cured blends is a hardness closer to that of phenolic resins and substantially higher than acrylate binders. Thus, there is a need for reactive diluents which exhibit excellent solubility for acrylamide resins, which are highly reactive to both photochemical and thermal free-radical polymerization (defined as "addition polymerizable" herein) , which exhibit low vapor pressures, which exhibit low viscosity at temperatures about 20°C and which enhance or, at the least, do not diminish the hardness of resins in which they are used. The present invention overcomes or reduces many of the aforementioned problems associated with previously known coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor compositions as they are used to make abrasive articles. In accordance with the first aspect of the present invention, abrasive articles are presented comprising a plurality of abrasive grains dispersed and adhered within a binder, the binder formed from a coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor composition comprising: (i) an optional addition polymerizable resin which, if present, is preferably free radically polymerizable, more preferably an aminoplast resin having α,/3-unsaturated carbonyl groups; and (ii) a reactive diluent, wherein the reactive diluent is an organic compound selected from the group consisting of: (a) compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds within general formula (I) : wherein: R 1 is an organic radical devoid of reactive groups other than optional ethylenically-unsaturated groups and is selected from the group consisting of radicals having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of: i) organic radicals devoid of reactive groups other than optional ethylenically-unsaturated groups and selected from the group consisting of organic radicals having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and ii) moieties which do not substantially terminate polymerization of ethylenically-unsaturated groups; R 3 is selected from the group consisting of -H and organic radicals devoid of reactive groups other than optional ethylenically-unsaturated groups and selected from the group consisting of organic radicals having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms; R 4 is selected from the group consisting of -H, -OH, -0-C(=0)-C(R 3 )=CH 2 , and -NR 3 -C(=0) -C(R 3 )=CH 2 ; W, X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of 0, S, NR 3 ; m is an integer ranging from 0 to 2, with the proviso that when m = 2, R 2 = adjacent substitutions which together form fused organic ring structures, preferably selected from the group consisting of fused aromatic, fused cycloaliphatic, fused bicycloaromatic, and fused heterocyclic rings; and n is either 1 or 2; (b) aromatic compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds within general formula (II) wherein: R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , , X, Y, m and n are as defined for general formula (I) and p is 0 or 1, with the proviso that when R 1 is -CH 2 CH 2 -, R 4 is H, and m is 0, then X, Y, and cannot all be O, and with the proviso that when p is 0 and R 1 is -CH 2 -, Y cannot be NR 3 or O; (c) N-substituted succinimide derivatives selected from the group consisting of compounds within general formula (III) : wherein: R 1 , R 3 , and Y are as defined for general formula (i); R 5 is selected from the group consisting of -H, -(R 1 ),-Y-C(=W)-CR 3 =CH 2 , and C, - C 12 (inclusive) organic radicals; Q is selected from the group consisting of cycloaliphatic residues (preferably having from 3 to about 10 carbon atoms) , bicycloaliphatic residues (preferably having from 3 to about 20 carbon atoms) , and aromatic residues, wherein the residues may have optional ring substituents which do not substantially interfere with free radical polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated groups; and t is 0 or 1; (d) heterocyclic compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds within general formula (IV) : wherein: R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , W, Y, m, and n have the meaning set forth for general formula (I) ; R 5 is selected from the group consisting of -H, -(R') t -Y-C(= )-CR 3 =CH 2 , and C, - C I2 (inclusive) organic radicals; (Het) is a cyclic organic radical having at least one ring heteroatom; 1 is 0 or 1; and t is 0 or 1; and (e) heterocyclic compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds within general formula (V) : wherein: R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 5 , W, Y, m, and n have the meanings set forth for general formula (IV) ; and mixtures thereof. In general formulas (I)-(V), R 1 is preferably selected from -C x H 2x - and -C y H^-O-C y .H^.- wherein x is an integer ranging from 1 to 12 (inclusive) and y and y' are independently selected from integers ranging from 1 to 6 (inclusive) . The term "addition polymerizable resin" as used herein means a composition including one or more ethylenically-unsaturated monomers or oligomers such as aminoplasts having at least one pendant ethylenically unsaturated group, triethylene glycol diacrylate, acrylated epoxies, acrylated urethanes, and the like. The term "thermally curable condensation resins" as used herein means resins which are primarily curable by thermal means, for example phenolic resins, urea- aldehyde resins, and the like. It is understood by those skilled in the art that "addition polymerizable resins", although primarily cured by radiation energy, may also be cured (or their cure accelerated by) heating. As used herein, the term "coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor composition" means a coatable, homogeneous mixture including uncured addition polymerizable resin, reactive diluent, and optionally a non-reactive diluent, which, upon curing, becomes a binder. (The term does not exclude thermally curable condensation resin precursors, although exclusion of the latter may be particularly preferred.) The term "binder" means a cured binder precursor composition. The term "coatable", as used herein, means that the binder precursor compositions of the invention may be easily coated or molded onto a substrate using any of one or more coating devices which are conventional in the abrasives art, such as knife coaters, roll coaters, flow-bar coaters, and the like. This characteristic may also be expressed in terms of viscosity of the compositions. The viscosity of the inventive coatable, radiation curable binder precursor compositions should not exceed about 2000 centipoise (cps) , measured using a Brookfield viscometer, no. 2 spindle, 60 rpm, at 25°C. The term "reactive" when used in the context "reactive diluent" means that the compound has moieties allowing it to be polymerized with the other resin components, for example, acrylate moieties. The term "diluent" is used in the sense that the reactive diluent compounds (and optional inert diluent liquids) dilute the concentration of radiation curable resin in the binder precursor compositions useful in the invention, and does not mean that the compositions are necessarily decreased in viscosity, although viscosity reduction is preferred. The term "polar" as used herein has its generally accepted meaning and means that the functional group exhibits an increased electronegativity relative to surrounding atoms, and, in particular, relative to adjacent carbon atoms. A polar group preferably includes one or more heteroatoms such as N (nitrogen) and 0 (oxygen) . Another aspect of the invention is a coated abrasive article comprising a backing upon which an abrasive coating comprising a plurality of abrasive grains and a binder is attached, at least a portion of the binder formed from a coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor composition as previously described in reference to the first aspect of the invention. A third aspect of the invention is a coated abrasive article comprising a backing, a make coating on at least one major surface of the backing, a plurality of abrasive particles adhered to the backing by means of the make coating, and a size coating over the abrasive grains and make coating, and an optional supersize coating over the size coating, wherein at least one of the make, size, or supersize coatings is formed from a coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor composition as above described in reference to the previous aspects of the invention. A fourth aspect of the invention is a coated abrasive article comprising a backing and an abrasive coating, wherein the backing has at least one of a saturant coating, a presize coating, or a backsize coating, wherein at least one of the saturant, presize, or backsize coatings is formed from a coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor composition as above described in reference to the previous aspects of the invention. Another aspect of the invention is a nonwoven article of the type comprising a lofty, open, fibrous mat of fibers, at least some of which are bonded together at points where they contact with a binder, wherein the binder is derived from the coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor composition described in the previous aspects of the invention. Nonwoven articles within the invention optionally have a plurality of abrasive grains adhered to the fibers by the binder. The optional addition polymerizable resin is preferably a radiation-curable aminoplast resin as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,903,440, 5,055,113, and 5,236,472. Preferred formulations of radiation energy curable aminoplasts with one or more radiation energy curable reactive diluents described in general formula (I) provides coatable, low viscosity, non-volatile, and rapid curing binder systems that cure to substantial hardness. Optionally, the coatable, addition polymerizable binder precursor compositions may include up to about 150 weight percent (of the total weight of the addition polymerizable resin precursors) of thermally curable condensation monomers and oligomers. Thus, conventional thermally curable condensation resins such as phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, melamine, and furfural (as well as reactive diluents for such resin precursors as disclosed in the above mentioned Barber et al. patent) may be admixed with the addition polymerizable binder precursors. FIG. 1 is a section view, enlarged, of an abrasive article embodiment of this invention; FIG. 2 is a section view, enlarged, representing another abrasive article embodiment of this invention; FIG. 3 is a schematic of a process of making the abrasive article of FIG. 2; FIG. 4 is a schematic of another process of making the abrasive article of FIG. 2; and FIGs. 5-7 are graphical representations of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of compositions, with FIG. 5 generated using only resin with no diluent, FIG. 6 generated using a composition of the invention, and FIG. 7 generated using a composition outside of the invention. Compounds functional as reactive diluents and therefore useful in the present invention in abrasive articles are preferably made by a generic process which is detailed in the examples for each particular compound. As explained further herein below, compounds useful in the invention facilitate solubilization of polar resins, and generally have an effect on the properties of cured compositions. In general, compounds useful in the invention function to increase the glass transition temperature of cured compositions in which they are employed. This in turn translates into a more thermally stable cured composition, which can be important in some applications, such as when the inventive compositions are used to form coated abrasive articles. Useful compounds as reactive diluents comprise at least one ethylenically-unsaturated group which copolymerizes or crosslinks with ethylenically- unsaturated groups present in the addition polymerizable resin. Although there is no particular upper limitation on the number of ethylenically- unsaturated groups in each molecule of the inventive compounds (other than viscosity limitations discussed herein) , a plurality of (up to about 10) ethylenically- unsaturated groups may be present in the inventive compounds, preferably from about 1 to about 4, and most preferably either 1 or 2 ethylenically-unsaturated groups are present in each reactive diluent molecule. The non-optional ethylenically-unsaturated group(ε) of the inventive reactive diluent compounds are preferably selected from the group consisting of acryloyl, methacryloyl, thioacryloyl, thiomethacryloyl, N-substituted acrylamidoyl and N-substituted methacrylamidoyl. Particularly preferred are compunds wherein the ethylenically unsaturated group is -0-C(=0)-CH=CH 2 or -NR-C(=0)-CH=CH 2 , wherein R is selected from the group consisting of -H and C x H 2x+1 , and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive. Substituents on nitrogen of (meth)acrylamidoyl ethylenically- unsaturated groups are preferably selected from the group consisting of H, C x H 2x+1 , and -C x H 2x -Y-C(= )-CR 3 =CH 2 , wherein x is as defined herein, is preferably selected from the group consisting of NR 3 , 0, and S, and Y is preferably selected from the group consisting of 0, S, and NR 3 . Compounds useful in the invention for use as reactive diluents preferably comprise one or two organic linking radicals (in the case of compounds within general formulas (I) , (II) , (IV) and (V) when n is 1 or 2) or only one organic linking radical (compounds within general formula (III) ) which links the ethylenically-unsaturated group(s) to a polar organic moiety. The linking radicals may include as part of their structure either one or two R 1 radicals, depending on the particular compound. The R 1 radicals are preferably selected from the group consisting of organic radicals devoid of reactive groups other than optional ethylenically-unsaturated groups, and are preferably selected from the group consisting of organic radicals having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms. More preferably, the R 1 radical(s) of compounds within general formulas (I)-(V) are selected from the group consisting of -CH 2 -, -CH 2 -CH 2 -, -CH 2 -CH(OC(=0)CR 3 =CH 2 )-CH 2 -, -0-CH 2 -CH 2 -, and mixtures thereof. In the case of compounds within general formulas (I)-(V) having more than one R 1 , the R 1 radicals are independently selected and may be the same or different. The constitution of the R 1 radicals in each molecule of the inventive reactive diluents are not particularly limited (within the viscosity limitations discussed herein) . Compounds useful as reactive diluents within general formulas (I) -(V) comprise at least one polar functional group or moiety. In general formula (I) the polar moiety is generally denoted as the aromatic C= ; in general formula (II) the aromatic ring having pendant R 2 and R 4 ; in general formula (III) the succinimide moiety including and Q; and in general formulas (IV) and (V), the R 2 -(Het) moiety. The polar functional group or moiety facilitates the solubilization of polar resins, such as aminoplast resins, in the reactive diluent compounds. In compounds within general formulas (I) , (II) , (IV) , and (V) herein, R 2 is selected from the group consisting of -H, organic radicals devoid of reactive groups other than optional ethylenically-unsaturated groups (preferably selected from the group consisting of radicals having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms) , and moieties which do not substantially terminate polymerization of ethylenically-unsaturated groups. Preferred structures are those wherein m is 2 and the R 2 groups together form a group selected from the group consisting of fused aromatic, fused cycloaliphatic, fused bicycloaromatic, and fused heterocyclic rings. Preferably the fused rings have from 1 to about 7 ring atoms. R 2 is also preferably selected from the group consisting of amino, halo, alkoxy and carboxyl, with the proviso that such ring substituent groups are selected such that they do not interfere with subsequent free-radical polymerization of the inventive ' compound(s) . Preferably, the R 2 groups of compounds within general formulas (I) , (II) , (IV) , and (V) , and the Q group of compounds within general formula (III) , as the case may be, are selected to form polar groups selected from the group consisting of appropriately substituted monocyclic aromatic rings, monocyclic aliphatic rings, pyrrole, furan, thiophene, imidazole, pyrazole, thiazole, oxazole, pyrrolidone, morpholine, N-acryloylpiperazine, N-acryloylpiperidine, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof, appropriately substituted with one or more linking groups. Most preferably, R 2 is selected from the group consisting of a phenolic compound substituted at the 2- position with a linking radical and a phenolic compound substituted at the 2- and 6- positions with a linking radical. There is sometimes no clear distinction between the polar group or moiety and the linking group of the compounds within general formulas (I) and (V) , these categorizations being merely used for convenience. For example, the linking portion of useful compounds within the invention may have polar moieties. Polar moieties are formed in compounds within general formula (I) , (IV) , and (V) when , Y and X are selected to form polar groups selected from the groups including, but not limited to, -C(=0)0-, -C(=0)NR 3 -, -C(=0)S-, -C(=S)0-, and -C(=S)NR 3 -. Polar moieties are also formed when is O in general formula (III) , thus forming cyclic imides, and Q is selected to provide heterocyclic rings selected from the group comprising pyrrole, furan, thiophene, imidazole, pyrazole, thiazole, oxazole, N-acryloylpiperazine, N-acryloylpiperidine, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated derivatives thereof, and mixtures thereof. The terms "cycloaliphatic" and "bicycloaliphatic" are meant to include ring structures having 3 to 10 and 3 to 20 carbon atoms, respectively, and which may have some degree of unsaturation, for example a C 5 ring may have one -C=C-. Particularly preferred reactive diluent compounds are those within general formulas (I) , (IV) and (V) which include linking groups having polar moieties, such as when is O and X and Y are selected from 0 and NR 3 , thus forming -C(=0)0-, - C(=0)NR 3 -, respectively. Other particularly preferred reactive diluents are those within general formula (III) where a cyclic imide is fused to a group selected from a carbocyclic ring (i.e., phthalimide) , a furan ring, a thiophene ring, a thiazole ring, and an oxazolidinone ring, because these polar functional groups provide sufficient solubility of resins in the reactive diluent, are easily prepared, and are thermally stable. Particularly preferred compounds useful as reactive diluents in the present invention are selected from the group consisting of: (i) compounds within general formula (VI) : wherein: Q is selected from the group consisting of cycloaliphatic residues, bicycloaliphatic residues, and aromatic residues, wherein the residues are devoid of ring substituents which substantially interfere with free radical polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated groups ; is selected from the group consisting of NR 7 , 0, and S; Y is selected from the group consisting of 0, S, and NR 6 ; R 5 is selected from the group consisting of -H, -(R 1 ),-Y-C(= )-CR 3 =CH 2 , and C, - C 12 (inclusive) organic radicals; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive, wherein R 6 and R 7 may be the same or different; and t is 0 or 1; (ii) compounds within general formula (VII) : wherein: each is selected independently and can be the same or different, being selected from the group consisting of NR 7 , O, and S; each Y is selected independently and can be the same or different, Y being selected from the group consisting of O, S, and NR 6 ; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, -C x H 2x+1 , -C(= )-CH=CH 2 , -C x H 2x -0-C(=W)-CH=CH 2 ; R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H, -C x H 2x+1 ; R 8 is selected from the group consisting of H and -C(=W)-CH=CH 2 ; and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive, wherein R 6 and R 7 may be the same or different; (iii) compounds within general formula (VIII) : wherein: is selected from the group consisting of NR 7 , 0, and S; Y is selected from the group consisting of 0, S, and NR 6 ; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H and -C x H 2x+1 ; and R 8 is selected from the group consisting of H and -C(= )-CH=CH 2 ; and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive, wherein R 6 and R 7 may be the same or different; (iv) aromatic compounds within general formula (IX) : ( IX) wherein : each is selected independently and can be the same or different, W being selected from the group consisting of NR 7 , 0, and S; each Y is selected independently and can be the same or different, Y being selected from the group consisting of 0, S, and NR 6 ; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, ~C x H 2x+1 , -C(=W)-CH=CH 2 , and -C x H 2x -0-C(=W) -CH=CH 2 ; R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H and -C x H 2x+1 ; and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive, wherein R 6 and R 7 may be the same or different; (v) heterocyclic compounds within general formula (X) : wherein: each is selected independently and can be the same or different, being selected from the group consisting of NR 7 , O, and S; each Y is selected independently and can be the same or different, Y being selected from the group consisting of 0, S, and NR 6 ; Het is a heterocyclic ring selected from the group consisting of furan, thiophene, thiazole, oxazole, imidazole, and oxazoline; n is an integer ranging from 1 to about 4; R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, - C χ H 2x+ ι, -C(=W)-CH=CH 2 , and -C x H 2x -0-C(=W)-CH=CH 2 ; R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H and -C x H 2x+1 ; and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive, wherein R 6 and R 7 may be the same or different; and (vi) heterocyclic compounds within general formula (XI) : wherein: each is selected independently and can be the same or different, W being selected from the group consisting of NR 7 , 0, and S; each Y is selected independently and can be the same or different, Y being selected from the group consisting of 0, S, and NR 6 ; Het is a heterocyclic ring selected from the group consisting of furan, pyrrolidone, morpholine, thiophene, thiazole, oxazole, imidazole, and oxazoline; m = l or 2; n is an integer ranging from 1 to about 4; and R 6 is selected from the group consisting of H, -C,H 2x+1 , -C(= )-CH=CH 2 , and -C x H 2x -0-C(=W)-CH=CH 2 ; R 7 is selected from the group consisting of H and "C x H 2x+1 ; 1 is 0 or 1; and x ranges from 1 to 10 inclusive, wherein R 6 and R 7 may be the same or different; and mixtures thereof.

Methods of production of compounds suitable for use as reactive diluents are presented in the Examples section. Solvent Power Compounds within general formulas (I)-(V) useful as reactive diluents exhibit particularly excellent solvency towards radiation curable aminoplast resins having unsaturation positioned a , β to the carbonyl groups, such as those described in U. S. Pat. Nos. 4,903,440 (the '440 patent), 5,055,113 (the '113 patent), and 5,236,472 (the '472 patent), all assigned to the assignee of the present application. The inventive compounds also exhibit excellent solvency toward phenolic resins, urethane resins, oligoacrylate resins and epoxy resins. Among these resins, the aminoplast resins are known to be quite insoluble in most known acrylate-functional reactive diluents. Specifically, a compound useful as a reactive diluent preferably dissolves at least its own weight of acrylamidomethylated phenol (hereinafter referred to as "AMP") described in the '440 patent, or acrylamidomethyl novolak resin (hereinafter referred to as "AMN") described in the '472 patent. Thus, as an example, at least 10 grams of acrylamidomethyl phenol preferably dissolves completely in 10 grams of an inventive compound at 20°C in order for the inventive compound to be considered as exhibiting sufficient solvency towards aminoplast resins. More preferably, compoundε useful in the invention dissolve at least 120% of their weight of aminoplast resins, and, most preferably, compounds useful in the invention dissolve at least 150% of their weight of aminoplast resins, in order for the resulting cured resin formulations to exhibit the required combination of hardness and durability. Viscosity In order to be useful in the preparation of cured resin systems, compounds useful in the invention as reactive diluents and within general formulas (I)-(V) typically and preferably exhibit viscosities ranging from about 30 centipoise (cps) to about 2000 cps at about 20°C, as measured by a Brookfield viscometer model number LVF, no. 4 spindle, 60 rpm, at 25 °C, as described in American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) test no. 1824-87. Preferably, compounds useful in producing the abrasive articles of the invention exhibit viscosities ranging from about 30 cps to about 1000 cps at about 20°C, and, most preferably, viscosities ranging from about 30 cps to about 500 cps at about 20°C. While the viscosity of the reactive diluent compound itself is critical, the viscosity and rheological properties of resin formulations comprising the reactive diluent compounds and resins such as aminoplasts, epoxy resins, and the like, are also critical to the ability to produce abrasive articles of the invention. Thus, formulations comprising about 50 parts by weight aminoplast resin and about 50 parts by weight reactive diluent(s) preferably exhibit viscosities in the range of from about 30 cps to about 5000 cpε, more preferably from about 30 to about 2000, in order to be readily coatable on substrates known in the abrasive materials art using standard coating methods and apparatus known in the abrasive materials art. Resin Systems Compounds within general formulas (I)-(V) useful as reactive diluents are used in conjunction with known resin materials to prepare, e.g., rapidly curable make coatings and size coatings for abrasive constructions. In these applications, a coatable composition comprising the resin and reactive diluent, along with optional photoinitiators, thermal initiators, fillers, pigments and other additives known in the art, is prepared and coated onto a substrate. The coating is then exposed to the appropriate energy source(s) sufficient to cure the coatings, typically and preferably radiation energy and, optionally, thermal energy. As previously mentioned, precursors of conventional thermally curable condensation resins, such aε phenol, formaldehyde, urea, melamine and furfural can be admixed with the above-described coatable compositions. However, the preferred precursor composition comprises a radiation-energy- curable aminoplast resin. Radiation-curable aminoplast resins having ethylenic unsaturation positioned a , β from a carbonyl group, which are also interchangeably referred to herein as "aminoplasts", are obtained by reacting a ino-functional compounds with aldehydes to produce compounds having hydroxyalkyl groups. The hydroxyalkyl groups are further reacted with hydroxyalkyl esters of acrylic or ethacrylic acid to form aminoplasts with pendant groups having unsaturation positioned , β from the carbonyl group. In the presence of a suitable initiator, the unsaturated aminoplasts can be cured by either thermal or irradiative means (or a combination thereof) to form a hard, crosslinked binder resin which finds utility in abrasive articles. The most common and preferred aldehyde is formaldehyde, which reacts with the amino group (-NHR) to produce compounds having hydroxymethyl groups. The R substituent of the -NHR group is typically and preferably a hydrogen or a hydrocarbon, which may be substituted or unsubstituted, but, if substituted, the substituent or substituents should be those that do not inhibit or prevent polymerization. Preferably, aminoplast resins useful as curable abrasive binders have an average of at least 1.1 pendant groups per molecule having ethylenic unsaturation positioned a , β from a carbonyl group, also referred to herein as "α,/3-unsaturated carbonyl groups". Useful α,/3-unsaturated carbonyl groups include acrylate, methacrylateε, acrylamideε and methacrylamideε, and mixtureε thereof. These aminoplast resins polymerize via free-radical polymerization at the site of the ,3-unsaturated carbonyl groupε and are curable by either heat or irradiation. In addition, the aminoplasts can also contain pendant amino (-NHR) or hydroxyl (-0H) functional groups, where the R substituent is typically and preferably a hydrogen or a hydrocarbon, which may be substituted or unsubstituted, but, if substituted, the substituent or substituents should be those that do not inhibit or prevent polymerization. Preferred examples of the R substituent include alkyl (e.g., methyl, ethyl, and the like), aryl (e.g., phenyl and the like) , alkoxy and carbonyl. Preferably, resin systems for preparing binders for abrasives are selected from the group consisting of: A. aminoplast resins having on average at least 1.1 pendant α,3-unsaturated carbonyl groups per molecule, B. aminoplast resins having on average at least 1.1 pendant α,/S-unεaturated carbonyl groups per molecule and at least one pendant -NHR or -OH functional group per molecule, and C. condensation curable resinε and aminoplast resins having on average at least 1.1 pendant α,/3-unsaturated carbonyl groups per molecule and at least one pendant -NHR or -OH functional group per molecule. Most preferably, aminoplast resins used in conjunction with reactive diluents of the invention are selected from the group consisting of acrylamidomethyl phenol, acrylamidomethyl novolak, melamine acrylate "resin, bis(acrylamidomethyl) ether, tetra(acrylamidomethyl) glycoluril, N-(hydroxymethyl) acrylamide, and mixtures thereof. Examples of other useful addition polymerizable binder precursorε include acrylated urethaneε, acrylated epoxieε, isocyanurate derivatives having at least one pendant acrylate group, isocyanate derivatives having at least one pendant acrylate group, vinyl ethers, epoxy resins and mixtures and combinations thereof. The term acrylate is meant to encompass acrylates and methacrylates. Acrylated urethanes are diacrylate esterε of hydroxy terminated isocyanate ("NCO") extended polyesters or polyethers. Acrylated epoxies are diacrylate esters of epoxy resins, such as the diacrylate esters of bisphenol A epoxy resin. Ethylenically unsaturated resins include both monomeric and polymeric compounds that contain atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and optionally, nitrogen and the halogens. Oxygen or nitrogen atoms or both are generally present in ether, ester, urethane, amide, and urea groups. Ethylenically unsaturated compounds preferably have a molecular weight of less than about 4,000 and are preferably esters made from the reaction of compounds containing aliphatic monohydroxy groups or aliphatic polyhydroxy groups and unsaturated carboxylic acidε, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, isocrotonic acid, maleic acid, and the like. Representative examples of ethylenically unsaturated compounds useful in the invention include methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol diacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, hexanediol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, glycerol triacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol trimethacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate and pentaerythritol tetramethacrylate. Other useful ethylenically unsaturated compounds include monoallyl, polyallyl, and polymethallyl esterε and amides of carboxylic acids, such as diallyl phthalate, diallyl adipate, and N,N-diallyladipamide. Still other useful nitrogen containing compounds include tris(2-acryloyl- oxyethyl) isocyanurate, 1,3,5-tri(2-methacryloxyethyl)- s-triazine, acrylamide, methylacrylamide, N-methylacryla ide, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, N-vinylpyrrolidone, and N-vinylpiperidone. Isocyanurate derivatives have at least one pendant acrylate group, and isocyanate derivatives have at least one pendant acrylate group. The preferred isocyanurate material is the triacrylate of tris(hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate. Epoxy resins have at least one oxirane group and are polymerized by ring opening. Useful epoxy resinε include monomeric epoxy resins and oligomeric epoxy resins. Examples of some preferred epoxy resins include 2,2-bis[4-(2, 3-epoxypropoxy)phenylpropane] (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) and commercially available materialε known under the trade designation EPON 828, EPON 1004 and EPON 1001F available from Shell Chemical Co. , and those known under the trade designations DER-331, DER-332 and DER-334 available from Dow Chemical Co. The epoxy resins useful in the invention can polymerize via a cationic mechanism with the addition of an appropriate cationic curing agent. Cationic curing agents generate an acid source to initiate the polymerization of an epoxy resin. These cationic curing agents can include a salt having an onium cation and a halogen containing complex anion of a metal or metalloid. Other cationic curing agents include a εalt having an organometallic complex cation and a halogen containing complex anion of a metal or metalloid. Other useful cationic curing agentε include organometallic salts and onium saltε. Still other cationic curing agents include an ionic salt of an organometallic complex in which the metal is selected from the elements of Periodic Group IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB and VIIIB. Curing and Cure Rate The rate at which addition polymerizable reactive diluents cure iε an important measure of their utility in resin formulationε for abraεive articleε. If the reactive diluent cures at a rate significantly slower than the addition polymerizable resin, the resulting cured formulation may have more than one phase and may be unusable as, e.g., an abrasive binder. In addition, a slow-curing reactive diluent will decrease processing speed, which may unnecesεarily increase the cost of the final abrasive product. If the addition polymerizable reactive diluent cures at a rate εignificantly faster than the addition polymerizable resin, the resulting cured material may be biphasic and may not exhibit the overall hardness required for an abrasive product. Aminoplast resins are typically and preferably cured by exposure to ultraviolet lamps operating at 236 watt/cm, operating in the range of 200 to 700 nanometers, preferably 250 to 400 nanometers wavelength, at a web rate ranging from about 3 to about 100 meters/minute. Of course, it is understood that the rate of curing with radiation energy varies according to the binder thickneεε as well as the denεity and nature of the composition, and with the intensity of the radiation. In general, during the manufacture of an abrasive article in accordance with the present invention, an addition polymerizable binder precurεor composition is applied to a substrate and at least partially cured or polymerized. This polymerization is generally initiated upon exposure to an energy source. Examples of energy sources include thermal energy and radiation energy. The amount of energy required depends upon several factors such as the binder precursor chemistry, the thickness of the applied binder precursor coating, the amount and type of particulate matter in the binder precursor, if any, and the amount and type of other optional additives. For thermal curing, temperatures may range from about 30 to about 150°C, more preferably between about 40 and 120°C. The exposure time for thermal curing may range from about 5 minutes to over 24 hours. Suitable radiation energy sources include electron beam, ultraviolet light and/or visible light. Electron beam irradiation, which is also known aε ionizing radiation, can be used at an energy level ranging from about 0.1 to about 10 Mrad, preferably at an energy level of about 1 to about 10 Mrads. Ultraviolet radiation refers to non-particulate radiation having a wavelength ranging from about 200 to about 400 nanometerε, preferably within the range of about 250 to about 400 nanometer . It iε preferred that the ultraviolet light have an intenεity of about 118 to about 236 wattε/cm. Viεible radiation referε to non- particulate radiation having a wavelength within the range of about 400 to about 800 nanometerε, preferably in the range of about 400 to about 550 nanometerε. Exampleε of free radical thermal initiatorε include peroxideε, e.g., benzoyl peroxide, azo compoundε, benzophenoneε and quinoneε. For either ultraviolet or viεible light energy εource, this curing agent is sometimes referred to as a photoinitiator. Examples of initiators, that when exposed to ultraviolet light generate a free radical source, include but are not limited to thoεe εelected from the group consisting of organic peroxides, azo compounds, quinones, benzophenoneε, nitroεo compoundε, acyl halideε, hydrazoneε, mercapto compoundε, pyrylium compoundε, triacylimidazoleε, biεimidazoleε, chloroalkytriazines, benzoin ethers, benzil ketals, thioxanthones, and acetophenone derivatives, and mixtures thereof. One preferred free radical initiator is 2,2-dimethoxy-l,2-diphenyl-l-ethanone, commercially available from Ciba-Geigy Corporation, Hawthorne, NY, under the trade designation IRGACURE 651. Comparative hardness testing of reactive diluent compounds with thermally curable, condensable resin precursors requires measuring the effect of a post- radiation heating cycle. Thus, compositionε compriεing reactive diluentε within general formula (I) and addition polymerizable reεins were cured by ultraviolet radiation and the Knoop hardness of the cured compositions was tested (see below) . Then, the radiation-cured sa pleε were heated an additional one hour at 140°C, and any difference in hardneεs was noted. Addition polymerizable reactive diluents useful in this invention can be solely used as the abrasive article binder. However, it is generally preferred that the addition polymerizable reactive diluent be combined or blended with addition polymerizable reεin precursors and this reεin precurεor blend be utilized in the production of the abraεive article binder. It is most preferred that the addition polymerizable reactive diluents within general formula (I) be blended with addition polymerizable resin precursors, so that during curing the reactive diluent can polymerize with the resin. Optionally, thermally curable condensation-type resin precursors, such as phenol and formaldehyde, widely uεed in abraεive article binders because of their thermal propertieε, availability, coεt and ease of handling, may be blended with the addition polymerizable precursors. The binder can further comprise optional additives, such as, for example, fillers (including grinding aids) , fibers, lubricantε, wetting agents, thixotropic materials, surfactants, pigments, dyeε, anti-εtatic agents, coupling agents, plasticizers and suspending agents. The amounts of these materials are selected to provide the properties desired. Grinding aids encompass a wide variety of different materials and can be inorganic or organic based. Examples of chemical groups of grinding aids include waxes, organic halide compounds, halide salts and metals and their alloys. The organic halide compounds typically will break down during abrading and release a halogen acid or a gaseous halide compound. Examples of such materials include chlorinated organic compoundε like tetrachloronaphthalene, pentachloronaphthalene, and polyvinyl chloride. Examples of halide salts include sodium chloride, potassium cryolite, sodium cryolite, ammonium cryolite, potasεium tetrafluoroborate, εodium tetrafluoroborate, εilicon fluorideε, potassium chloride, and magnesium chloride. Examples of metals include, tin, lead, bismuth, cobalt, antimony, cadmium, iron, and titanium. Other miscellaneous grinding aids include sulfur, organic sulfur compounds, graphite and metallic sulfideε. Exampleε of antistatic agents include graphite, carbon black, vanadium oxide, humectantε, conductive polymerε and the like. A coupling agent can provide an aεεociation bridge between the binder precurεor and the filler particles or abrasive particles. Examples of uεeful coupling agents include silaneε, titanates and zircoaluminates. One preferred silane coupling agent is γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, known under the trade designation A-174, from Union Carbide. The binder precursor compositionε typically and preferably contain from about 0.01 to 3 weight percent coupling agent, baεed on weight of filler and/or abrasive particles. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Some of the benefits of adding the compoundε within the above formulas (I) -(V) to addition polymerizable compoεitions may be determined through an analytical technique known as "dynamic mechanical analysis" ("DMA") . Specifically, the degree of curing, molecular weight distribution, phase εeparation, and glass transition temperature ("T g ") of cured compoεitionε may be investigated. In a typical DMA test a sample of composition to be tested iε used to εaturate a glaεε fiber cloth, and the compoεition cured using an ultraviolet lamp. The composite is then placed in tension held by a film-fiber fixture and placed in an analyzing instrument. The sample is typically subjected to a stepwise temperature increase ("temperature sweep") , usually from about 0°C to about 250°C. At variouε temperature pointε, measurements of energy loss and energy storage in the composition are measured to determine the "storage modulus", typically denoted E', which may be plotted versus temperature. In general the storage modulus for a material decreaεeε with temperature. Increases in E' accompany curing reactions and in most cases is not desired. Also measured is another parameter, (E''), which is defined as the losε modulus. The ratio (E , '/E'), a unitless parameter typically denoted "tan δ", may also be plotted versuε temperature. The maximum point of the tan δ curve (point where the slope iε zero) , if well defined, takeε place at the T g of the compoεition. By comparing the analytical results of a blend with the resultε obtained from a sample of reεin only (both samples having a small percentage of photoinitiator added thereto) , the increase in T g may be determined, as well aε the molecular weight distribution and degree of phase separation. For compounds within general formulas (I) -(V), it is preferred that the compound increase T g of the resin by at least about 10°C, more preferably at least about 50°C. Compounds outside of the invention will typically have a flat, bimodal or other not well defined maximum for tan δ , and thus the T g will not be well defined. It is preferred that the molecular weight distribution be narrow. If the distribution is wide the tan δ peak will be broad. Compounds within the invention should also prevent or reduce phase separation of the compoεitionε. Backing Materials for Coated Abrasive Articles Backingε uεeful in thiε invention for the production of coated abraεiveε typically and preferably have a front and a back surface and can be selected from any one of a number of conventional abrasive backingε. Exampleε of εuch include polymeric film (for example polyester and the like) , primed polymeric film, cloth, paper, vulcanized fiber, nonwovens and combinations thereof. Still other uεeful backings include fibrous reinforced thermoplastic backings like those deεcribed in Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application no. WO 93129912, published July 8, 1993, and endless seamleεs belts εuch aε those deεcribed in PCT application no. 9312911, alεo publiεhed July 8, 1993. The backing may alεo contain a treatment or treatmentε to εeal the backing and/or modify εome phyεical properties of the backing. Additionally, the reactive diluents useful in this invention can be utilized as a cloth treatment or a backing treatment. Abrasive Particles Examples of abrasive particles suitable for use in the preεent invention include fuεed aluminum oxide (which includeε brown aluminum oxide, heat treated aluminum oxide and white aluminum oxide) , ceramic aluminum oxide, green εilicon carbide, silicon carbide, chromia, alumina zirconia, diamond, iron oxide, ceria, cubic boron nitride, garnet and combinationε thereof. The absolute particle size of abraεive particles useful in the invention is not critical and may vary widely from about 0.1 micrometer to about 1500 micrometerε. The average particle size is preferably between about 0.1 micrometer to 400 micrometers, more preferably between about 0.1 micrometer to about 100 micrometers, and most preferably between about 0.1 micrometer to about 50 micrometers. It is preferred that the abrasive particleε have a MOH hardness of at least about 8, more preferably above 9. The term "abraεive particles" includes individual abrasive grainε and alεo encompasseε multiple individual abrasive grainε bonded together to form an abrasive agglomerate. Bonded Abrasives To make a bonded abrasive, a composition iε formulated consisting esεentially of a compound within general formulaε (I)-(V), abrasive particleε, optionally an addition polymerizable reεin, and optional modifying agents and particles functioning aε rheology modifierε εuch aε amorphouε silica. Optionally, coupling agentε may also be introduced into the εlurry either before or after the εlurry iε poured into a mold. If a εilane coupling agent iε uεed, it is not necesεary to coat the mold inner surface with a mold release agent. However, when desired, a mold release material may be coated on the surface of the mold to be exposed to the slurry, such as the mold release known under the trade designation "IMS Silicon Spray Parting Agent", no. S-512. Alternatively, the mold could have a non-εtick surface, made of a material εuch as polytetrafluoroethylene or the like. The εlurry is then poured into the selected mold, and subεequently subjected to curing conditions as previously described. Optionally, presεure may be applied to the εyste during curing. Once the reεin iε cured, the reεulting bonded abraεive iε removed from the mold. Nonwoven Abrasive Articles Nonwoven abrasive articles comprise an open, lofty, three-dimensional web of fibers bound together at points where they contact by a binder. The binder of such a construction may be made using a compositon comprising a reactive diluent compound within general formulas (I)-(V) , optional addition polymerizable resin and optional abrasive particles. Uniform, lofty, open, nonwoven three-dimensional abrasive articles for use in cleaning and polishing floors and other εurfaceε comprise many interlaced, randomly diεpoεed, flexible, durable, tough, organic fiberε which exhibit εubεtantial reεiliency and εtrength upon prolonged εubjection to water and oilε. Fiberε of the web are firmly bonded together at pointε where they interεect and contact one another by globuleε of an organic binder, thereby forming a three-dimenεionally integrated εtructure. Diεtributed within the web and firmly adhered by binder globuleε at variously spaced points along the fiberε may be, and typically are, abrasive particles. Lapping Abrasives and Methods of Production Lapping abrasives, examples of which are illustrated in FIGs. 1 and 2, are a type of coated abraεive. Referring to the drawing figureε, FIG. 1 is an illustration (enlarged) of a lapping abrasive article 10 within the invention having a backing 11 having an abrasive coating 16 bonded to at least the front surface 17 of the backing. The abrasive coating 16 compriseε a homogeneous mixture of a plurality of abrasive particles 13 , a binder 14 and optionally a grinding aid 15. The binder 14 serves also to bond the ■ abrasive coating 16 to the front εurface 17 of the backing 11. The abraεive particles are essentially uniformly dispersed throughout the binder and grinding aid mixture. The lapping abrasive article embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 may be made by coating a composition within the invention onto the backing by any suitable technique, such as roll coating, gravure coating, and the like, it being understood that a more rough or varied surface may be produced. The composition is then exposed to a radiation source, preferably producing radiation in the UV and/or visible spectrum ranging from about 300 nanometers to about 1000 nanometers, more preferably ranging from about 300 to about 400 nanometers, and other optional energy sources, depending on the resins used, to cure the binder precursors and form an abrasive composite. Alternatively, the coatable composition may be applied to the backing through a screen to create a patterned abrasive surface. In some instanceε it iε preferred that the abraεive coating be preεent as precisely shaped abrasive compoεiteε, εuch aε illustrated in FIG. 2. In order to make this type of abrasive article, a production tool is generally required. The production tool containε a plurality of cavitieε. Theεe cavitieε are eεsentially the inverse shape of the abrasive composite and are responsible for generating the shape of the abrasive compoεiteε. The dimenεionε of the cavitieε are εelected to provide the desired shape and dimensionε of the abraεive compoεiteε. If the shape or dimensionε of the cavities are not properly fabricated, the resulting production tool will not provide the desired dimensions for the abrasive composites. The cavities can be present in a dot like pattern with spaceε between adjacent cavities or the cavities can butt up against one another. It iε preferred that the cavities butt up against one another. Additionally, the shape of the cavities is selected such that the cross-sectional area of the abrasive composite decreaseε as the distance from the backing increases. In each of the methods wherein a patterned tool is coated with a slurry, it is most advantageouε if the slurry has a viscosity that will allow the slurry to flow into depressions or cavities in the patterned surface. Thus, εlurries having low viεcoεity are quite advantageous. One way of achieving thiε is through the use of viscoεity modifierε, εuch aε amorphouε εilica particleε having an average εurface area of 50 m 2 /g, and average particle εize of 40 millimicro eterε, commercially available from Degussa Corp, Ridgefield Park, NJ, under the trade designation OX-50. The production tool can be a belt, a sheet, a continuous sheet or web, a coating roll such as a rotogravure roll, a sleeve mounted on a coating roll, or die. The production tool can be composed of metal, (e.g. , nickel) , metal alloys, or plastic. The metal production tool can be fabricated by any conventional technique such as engraving, hobbing, electroforming, diamond turning, and the like. One preferred technique for fabricating a metal production tool is by diamond turning. A thermoplastic tool can be replicated off a metal master tool. The master tool will have the inverse pattern deεired for the production tool. The maεter tool can be made in the same manner as the production tool. The master tool iε preferably made from metal, e.g., nickel and iε diamond turned. The thermoplaεtic εheet material can be heated and optionally along with the maεter tool εuch that the thermoplastic material is embosεed with the maεter tool pattern by pressing the two together. The thermoplastic material can also be extruded or caεt onto the maεter tool and then preεεed. In both caεeε, the thermoplaεtic material iε cooled below itε glaεε transition temperature to produce the production tool. Exampleε of preferred thermoplastic production tool materials include polyester, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene and combinations thereof. If a thermoplastic production tool is utilized, then care must be taken not to generate excessive heat that may distort the tool. The production tool may also contain a release coating to permit easier release of the abrasive article from the production tool. Examples of such release coatings for metalε include hard carbide, nitride or boride coatingε. Examples of release coatings for thermoplastics include silicones and fluorochemicals. Referring specifically to FIG. 2, there is illustrated, in cross section, enlarged, an abrasive article embodiment 20 comprising a plurality of preciεely shaped abraεive compoεiteε 22 separated by boundary 25. The boundary or boundaries aεsociated with the composite shape result in one abrasive composite being separated to some degree from another adjacent abrasive composite. To form an individual abrasive composite, a portion of the boundaries forming the shape of the abraεive compoεite muεt be εeparated from one another. Note that in the article illustrated in FIG. 2, the base or a portion of the abrasive composite closest to the backing can abutt with its neighboring abrasive composite. (Note that "neighboring" does not neceεεarily mean "adjacent".) Abraεive compoεiteε 22 comprise a plurality of abrasive particles 24 that are dispersed in a binder 23 optionally containing grinding aid particles 26. It is also within the scope of this invention to have a combination of abrasive composites bonded to a backing ' in which some of the abrasive compositeε abutt, while other abraεive composites have open spaceε between them. One preferred method of making a lapping coated abrasive such as illustrated in FIG. 2 is to first coat a coatable compoεition (sometimes referred to herein as a slurry) within the invention onto at least one εide of a backing, applied uεing one of the previously mentioned suitable techniques. The preferred backing is a polymeric film, such as polyester film that contains an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer primer. Second, the slurry-coated backing is contacted with the outer surface of a patterned production tool. The slurry wets the patterned surface to form an intermediate article. Third, the slurry iε subjected to radiation, preferably in the UV and/or visible spectrum ranging from about 300 nanometerε to about 1000 nanometers, preferably from about 300 to about 400 nanometers, and other optional energy sources, as previously described which at least partially cures or gelε the reεin in the εlurry before the intermediate article iε removed from the outer εurface of the production tool. Fourth, the intermediate article is removed from the production tool. The four steps are preferably carried out continuously. Alternatively, the slurry may be firεt applied to the production tool in the methodε illustrated in FIGs. 3 and 4. In FIG. 3, backing 41 leaves an unwind station 42 and at the same time the production tool 46 leaves an unwind station 45. Production tool 46 is coated with a slurry by means of coating station 44. It iε poεsible to heat the εlurry and/or subject the slurry to ultrasonics prior to coating to lower the viscosity. The coating station can be any conventional coating means such as drop die coater, knife coater, curtain coater, die coater, or vacuum die coater. During coating the formation of air bubbles εhould be minimized. The preferred coating technique iε a vacuum fluid bearing die, εuch as discloεed in U.S. Pat. Noε. 3,594,865, 4,959,265, and 5,077,870. After the production tool is coated, the backing and the slurry are brought into contact by any means such that the slurry wetε the front εurface of the backing. In FIG. 3, the εlurry iε brought into contact with the backing by meanε of contact nip roll 47. Next, contact nip roll 47 also forces the resulting conεtruction againεt support drum 43. A source of energy 48 providing radiation, preferably in the UV and/or visible spectrum ranging from about 300 nanometers to about 1000 nanometers, preferably about 300 to about 400 nanometers, and other optional energy εources, transmits a sufficient amount of energy into the slurry to at leaεt partially cure the binder precursor. The term "partial cure" meanε that the binder precurεor iε polymerized to such a state that the slurry does not flow from an inverted test tube. The binder precurεor can be fully cured once it iε removed from the production tool by an appropriate energy εource. Following this, the production tool iε rewound on mandrel 49 εo that the production tool can be reuεed again. Additionally, abraεive article 120 is wound on mandrel 121. If the binder precursor is partially cured, the binder precursor can then be more fully cured by exposure to an energy source, preferably a combination of UV and/or visible radiation and thermal energy. The inventive coatable compositions can be coated onto the backing and not into the cavities of the production tool. The slurry coated backing is then brought into contact with the production tool such that the εlurry flowε into the cavities of the production tool. The remaining steps to make the abrasive article are the same as detailed above. Another method is illustrated in FIG. 4. Backing 51 leaves an unwind station 52 and the slurry 54 iε coated into the cavities of the production tool 55 by means of the coating εtation 53. The εlurry can be coated onto the tool by any one of many techniqueε previouεly mentioned. Again, it is possible to heat the slurry and/or subject the slurry to ultrasonics prior to coating to lower the viscosity. During coating the formation of air bubbles should be minimized. Then, the backing and the production tool containing the abrasive slurry are brought into contact by a nip roll 56 such that the slurry wets the front surface of the backing. Next, the binder precursor in the εlurry is at least partially cured by exposure to an energy source 57, preferably providing radiation in at least some portion of the UV and/or viεible εpectrum ranging from about 300 nanometerε to about 1000 nanometers, and other optional energy sources. After this at least partial cure, the slurry is converted to an abrasive compoεite 59 that iε bonded or adhered to the backing. The reεulting abraεive article iε removed from the production tool by meanε of nip rollε 58 and wound onto a rewind station 60. In this method the preferred backing iε polyeεter film. Regarding thiε latter method, the slurry can be coated directly onto the front surface of the backing. The slurry coated backing is then brought into contact with the production tool such that the εlurry wets into the cavitieε of the production tool. The remaining εteps to make the abrasive article are the same as detailed above. In methods employing a production tool, the production tool may be coated with a release agent, such as a silicone material, to enhance the release of the intermediate article from the patterned tool. Becauεe the pattern of the production tool imparts a pattern to the abrasive articleε of the invention, these methods are particularly uεeful in making "structured" abraεive articleε. A structured abrasive article iε an abraεive article wherein compoεiteε, co priεing abraεive particleε distributed in a binder, have a predetermined shape, and are dispoεed in a predetermined array on a backing. The slurry is preferably coated onto a production tool having a pyramidal or other type pattern εuch that the slurry fills the tool. The pyramids may be placed such that their baseε are butted up againεt one another. The width of the pyramid baεe preferably ranges from about 100 micrometers to about 1000 micrometers, with the pyramid height having the same range, although the base width and height may be the same or different within a pyramid or from pyramid to pyramid. One preferred pattern iε illustrated in FIG. 1 of the Pieper et al. patent. Additional Methods of Making Coated Abrasives The present invention alεo relateε to methods of manufacturing conventional coated abrasive articles incorporating the reactive diluents within general formulaε (I)-(V). In one preferred method in accordance with the invention, a slurry comprising an addition polymerizable resin, reactive diluent within general formulas (I)-(V), abrasive particleε, and optional ingredientε such aε fillerε, coupling agentε, and the like, is coated onto a backing. The backing may be first saturated with a saturant coating precursor by any conventional technique such as dip coating or roll coating, after which the εaturant coating precursor is partially cured ("precure") . After the saturant coating precursor is at least partially cured, a make coating precursor may be applied by any conventional technique such as roll coating, die coating or knife coating. Abrasive particles are then applied to the coated backing by a method such as drop coating, electrostatic coating, and the like. The make coating precursor iε then expoεed to conditions sufficient to at least partially cure or gel the polymerizable moieties in the slurry. A size coating precursor may then be applied over the abrasive grainε by any of the above-mentioned conventional techniqueε, and εubjected to conditionε to effect a partial cure. One or more supersize coating precursors may be applied over the partially cured size coating by any conventional technique. Each of the coatings may be fully cured, partially cured or dried after it iε applied. After the last coating precursor iε applied, and if necessary, any remaining partially cured or dried coatings are fully cured. In theεe methodε, the optional εize and εuperεize coatings may comprise binder materials that are commonly utilized in the coated abrasive art (for example resole phenolic resinε) , or may alεo comprise slurrieε or binder precurεor compoεitionε including a reactive diluent within general formulaε (I)-(V). Some of the abrasive articles produced and used in the Examples below were made according to the General Procedure for Preparing the Abrasive Article, and the abrasive articles were tested according to the test procedures described below. TEST METHODS KNOOP HARDNESS INDENTATION TEST Thiε indentation hardneεε determination of organic/polymeric coatings is described in ASTM D 1474- 85 (Method A) . Coatings of approximately 15 mils were applied to glass microscope slides. Subsequently, the coatingε were dried and/or cured by an energy source. The method consiεted of applying a 100 gram load to the εurface of a coating by meanε of a pyramidal shaped diamond having specified face angles, and converting the length meaεurement of the reεulting permanent indentation to the Knoop Hardness Number. Typical KHN values for coatings of abrasive binders are known to generally range from 20 to 50. A Tukon Hardneεε Teεter, Model 200, available from Wilson Inεtrumentε of Binghampton, NY, waε used to determine the KHN. ABRASIVE TEST PROCEDURE 1 (TP1) The coated abrasive article was converted into 7.6 cm by 356 cm endless abrasive belts. Two belts from each example were tested on a wood sander. A pre- weighed fir workpiece approximately 1.9 cm by 30.5 cm by 76.2 cm waε mounted in a holder, poεitioned horizontally, with the 1.9 cm by 30.5 cm face confronting a horizontally poεitioned backup plate with a graphite pad over which the coated abraεive belt ran. The workpiece was urged against the belt with a load of 4.5 kilograms (kg) as the belt was driven at about 1,000 meters/min. After five minutes of sanding time had elapsed, the workpiece was removed and reweighed, the amount of wood removed calculated by subtracting the weight after abrading from the original weight. Then, a new, pre-weighed workpiece waε mounted on the equipment. The total cut iε a meaεure of the total amount of wood removed throughout the test after twenty-five minutes (five workpieces five minuteε each) . ABRASIVE TEST PROCEDURE 2 (TP2) Thiε test procedure iε identical to Test Procedure 1 (TP1) except that pine workpieces were sanded. ABRASIVE TEST PROCEDURE 3 (TP3) The coated abrasive article of each of the following exampleε waε converted into 7.6 cm by 335 cm endleεε abraεive beltε. Two belts from each example were tested on a conεtant load εurface grinder. A pre- weighed, 1018 εteel workpiece approximately 2.5 cm by 5 cm by 18 cm waε mounted in a holder, positioned vertically, with the 2.5 cm by 18 cm face confronting an approximately 36 cm diameter 60 Shore A durometer serrated rubber contact wheel having one to one land to groove over which entrained the coated abrasive belt. The workpiece was then reciprocated vertically through an 18 cm path at the rate of 20 cycles per minute, while a spring-loaded plunger urged the workpiece against the belt with a load of 5.9 kg as the belt was driven at about 2,050 meters/min. After one minute of grinding time had elapsed, the workpiece holder asεembly waε removed and reweighed, and the amount of εtock removed waε calculated by subtracting the weight after abrading from the original weight. Then a new, pre-weighed workpiece and holder were mounted on the equipment. The experimental error on this test was about 10%. The total cut is a measure of the total amount of 1018 steel removed throughout the test. The test was deemed ended when the amount of final cut was lesε than one third the amount of initial cut of test control belt for a one minute time interval. ABRASIVE TEST PROCEDURE 4 (TP4) Thiε Teεt Procedure 4 waε deεigned to measure the time it took for the abrasive grain to shell from a coated abrasive disc. The test equipment included a 17.8 cm diameter test coated abrasive disc with a 2.2 cm mounting hole attached to a 16.5 cm diameter 1.57 mm thick hard phenolic backup pad which was in turn mounted on a 15.2 cm diameter steel flange. The teεt diεc εo supported was rotated counter-clockwise at 3550 rpm. The 1.8 mm peripheral edge of a 25 cm diameter 4130 steel disc shaped workpiece deployed 18.5 cm from a poεition normal to the abraεive disc and rotated counter clockwise at 2 rpm, was placed into contact with the abrasive face of the abrasive diεc under a load of 2.9 kg. The test endpoint was 8 minuteε or when the disc began to shell, i.e., a subεtantial portion of itε abrasive grain flew off of the discs, whichever occurred first. At the end of the test, the workpiece was weighed to determine the amount of metal cut (abraded) from the workpiece. The values listed in the Tables are measured as a percent of the Comparative Example. ABRASIVE TEST PROCEDURE 5 (TP5) Coated abrasive discs having a diameter of 17.8 cm, with a 2.2 cm diameter center hole and thicknesε of 0.76 mm were inεtalled on a εlide action teεting machine. The discs were first conventionally flexed to controllably break the hard bonding resins, mounted on a beveled aluminum back-up pad, and used to grind the face of 2.5 cm by 18 cm 1018 mild steel workpiece. The disc waε driven at 5,500 rpm while the portion of the diεc overlaying the beveled edge of the back-up pad contacted the workpiece at 5.91 kg preεεure, generating a disc wear path of about 140 cm 2 . Each disc was used to grind a separate workpiece for one minute each, for a total time of 12 minutes each, or for sufficient one minute time segments until no more than 5 grams of metal were removed in any one minute of grinding. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Dynamic mechanical analysis teεting was performed using an instrument known under the trade designation "Rheometrics RSA II Solids Analyzer", commercially available from Rheometrics Company, Piscataway, NJ. A rectangular cell which contained the sample to be tested was used in each case. The samples in each case consisted of a glass fiber cloth (available from TA Instruments, New Castle, DE) impregnated with the composition to be tested. The compoεitionε were then cured by a double pass under a 300 watt "D" type ultraviolet source. The cured composition/fiber compositeε were then loaded into a film-fiber fixture and temperature εweep teεtε were performed at a stepped 5°C/minute. A 6.28 Hz frequency was uεed for all measurements.

To the εurface of each backing which would hold the abrasive surface ("front") was applied a latex/phenolic resin pretreatment coating. The treated backingε were heated until the pretreatment reεin had cured to a tack-free state. Each backing made by this procedure was completely pretreated and was ready to receive a make coating. The backing for this example was a J weight rayon backing that had been pretreated as described above. Thiε backing waε coated with Composition A consisting of a conventional calcium carbonate filled resole phenolic resin (84% by weight solidε) to form a make coating.

A size coating precursor consiεting of 32% RP1, 50.2% CRY, 1.5% IO, and 1.6% HP and 14.4% water waε applied over the abraεive grainε and the make coating at an average weight of approximately 310 gεm to form a εize coating. The resulting product was cured for 11-1/2 hours at 100°C. After thiε step, the coated abrasive discs were flexed and humidified at 45% Relative Humidity (RH) for one week prior to testing. COATED ABRASIVE EXAMPLES 5-7 The procedure of Comparative Example B was followed except that make coating precurεor compoεitions 5-7 (See Table 6) were applied at a dry coating weight of 153 gεm followed by the application of 552 gsm grade 50 (average particle εize about 400 micrometers) aluminum oxide. These make coatings were UV precured using four passes at 6.1 meters/min. with a 118 watt/cm Fusion Systems D bulb. The same size coating as for Comparative Example B waε applied followed by the εame thermal size precure and a final cure of six hourε at 121°C. Discs were humidified at 45% RH for one week prior to testing. Abrasive articles of Comparative Example B and Examples 5-7 were evaluated for performance using teεt procedures TP4 and TP5.

The T 4 EGDA discs showed severe shelling and reduced cut. The εlide action (TP5) reεultε εhowed the phenolic control discs outperformed the DAP and BAM discs (total cut 88 and 87% of the control, respectively) . The T 4 EGDA discs again performed the worst at 83% of the control and remarkably also showed some shelling on this low pressure test (4.5 kg. load) . The resultε clearly demonεtrate the superiority of the new reactive diluent, DAP, to the conventional diluent, T 4 EGDA. In addition the results show that DAP performance is equivalent to BAM. DAP is a low viscosity (200 cps) liquid and may offer processing advantages to the solid BAM. The DAP blends exhibited a very fast UV cure, superior to T 4 EGDA, and were indistinguishable from BAM.
